## Resource

This fall is heating up across much of the country thanks to a supercharged El Niño on its way to peak strength — and it’s bringing more rain, especially along South Carolina’s coast. Expect triple-digit heat indexes, powerful storms, heavy downpours, and frequent lightning, though most areas should stay dry. Experts say there’s over a 90% chance this will be the strongest El Niño since 1957, with ripple effects including rising energy demand for cooling — while wind and hydroelectric power could face strain.
